Review:
The Chicago Air and Water Show is an annual Chicago tradition, held over two days each August for more than 60 years. The show was originally held in 1959 as part of the city's Family Day Celebration and has become the United States' largest and oldest free-admission exhibition show of its kind, drawing an annual audience of more than two million visitors. The show is centered at Chicago's North Avenue Beach, which invites attendees to bring lawn chairs and beach blankets to watch a full lineup of aviation and watercraft performers, including military and civilian pilots, boaters, parachuters, and diving teams, present dazzling tricks over Lake Michigan. Visitors can also watch acts from a number of nearby restaurants and public spaces, including the Navy Pier and Belmont and Diversity Harbors. To avoid event parking fees, visitors can reach the beach from multiple stops on Chicago's CTA bus system or L train rapid transit system.
North Avenue Beach, 1600 N. Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60613
